The Primeval Flood Catastrophe
Origins and Early Development in Mesopotamian Traditions
De:Chen Y. S.
Contenu
Against the long-standing and prevalent belief that Mesopotamian Flood traditions came from very early time in Mesopotamian cultural history, this book argues that the traditions emerged relatively late in Sumerian traditions. Through a systematic examination of the relevant cuneiform sources Y. S. Chen charts the evolution of the Flood traditions.
